An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Pat O'Brien was born in 1899. The quintessential Irish actor, he was playing the second lead in The Front Page on Broadway, and someone at United Artists, which had just bought the rights, heard he was great in it, but they thought he had the lead role and they offered it to him, and of course he didn't correct them! He soon settled in at Warner Brothers, first playing romantic lead roles, but it wasn't long before he became a secondary star, often playing stereotyped Irish cops and priests. Perhaps his best remembered role was as Father Connelly in Angels With Dirty Faces, where he memorably asks gangster Rocky Sullivan to act "yellow" as he is strapped in the chair, so that kids everywhere wouldn't emulate him and end up where he did. He is also remembered for his roles in Some Like it Hot, and Page Miss Glory. He passed away in 1983 at the age of 83. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Pat O'Brien! Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items, and over the years he did not re-sell any of the autographed items. Now he has gathered up together all of his autographed items and consigned them to us. So all of the items from this consignor we are auctioning were purchased by this dealer from longtime dealers and collectors, and we feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic! As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
